OPTICON, Optical-infrared astronomy

Optical-infrared astronomy in Europe is in a state of transition and opportunity, with the goal of a viable structured European scale community in sight. A strong astronomical community requires access to state of the art infrastructures (telescopes), equipped with the best possible infrastructure, and with that access being open to all on a basis of competitive excellence. OPTICON (EU funded project) is developing critical next-generation technology to enhance future equipment on all telescopes.
